If your training takes more than an hour, you are socialising more than you are working out. In between sets keep your head down, your mind focused and take note that cortisol levels rise and testosterone levels drop off a cliff if you try to push a weight training session much past the hour mark.

There will always be a bunch of guys who treat the gym as an extension of a boys club -- usually they are old timers at the gym who haven’t improved their physiques since Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister of England. Do what I do to counteract these time vampires -- look grumpy and intense, and wear an iPod -- even if you don’t necessarily happen to be listening to any music.
